Description
In this case, we review the decision of the appellant Arkansas State Police Commission (the Commission) to terminate an Arkansas State Police Officer, appellee Rhodis Smith, for violations of the Arkansas State Police's Code of Conduct that requires all employees to obey all laws and prohibits unbecoming conduct that brings the employee or the department into disrespect or otherwise brings the department into disrepute. The Commission determined that appellee's conduct in writing two hot checks and failing to make the checks good upon demand was a violation of the code, and imposed the sanction of termination from the state police. On appeal the circuit court found that there was not substantial evidence to support the Commission's decision to terminate Mr. Smith's employment, and that the Commission's decision to terminate appellee's employment was arbitrary and capricious. The trial court reversed the Commission's decision to terminate appellee and imposed the disciplinary action of a six-month suspension without pay. The trial court directed that appellee be reinstated following the suspension.
